Yeah I was kinda stunned too cause you wouldn't expect organic dyes to have these colors.

Their whiteners and color developers are ammonia and parabens free too.

Is it magic.

Jac took the time to discuss with me about my hairspirations (ARIEL hahah) and limitations.

1. I've always had red tones in my hair, so I'd like to stick within that color scheme.

2. My job (actually my manager) requires me to have tame colors, so I can't go for the wild and bright shades.

3. I'd like to have babylights - thin streaks of highlights which blends and looks natural; but red, instead of blonde

4. If possible, I don't mind having wild colors but it has to be hidden in my ponytail #rebelatheart

I'm not an easy customer :x

Jac was very patient though!

He took the time to consider and think about the best way to incorporate what I've mentioned,

instead of just brushing aside my requests like one of my ex-hairstylists,

which is why she is an ex LOLOL

Final decision!

1. My base color would be Violet Auburn - a dark purple-red

2. Highlights in Intense Red Dark Blonde and Intense Violet Mix.

Jac sadly informed me that I wouldn't be able to hide wild colors - which is okay by me la, it's really hard leh.

It'll be easier for me to change job HAHAHA.

He did explain that he'll be doing the highlights not from the top of my head, but lower than eye level instead.
This is so that it wouldn't bring too much attention to the brighter colors.
Wah that's another level of detail sia.

Like there are kit-kats in my hair.

You know the amazing realization I had when sitting through the first round of dyeing?

THERE WAS NO SMELL.

THERE WAS NO TINGLY SENSATION ON MY SCALP.

What sorcery is this?!!

I have highlighted, bleached, and dyed my hair for so long,

I've always come to expect the sharp tingly feeling and the smell of ammonia.

It's usually the point of time where you'd tell yourself beauty comes with a price HAHAH.

But seriously. I didn't even realize that I was kind of dreading it till 15 minutes into the process.

And I realized that nothing happened.

Natulique is magic.

Other than the highlights by Jac, I was attended to by Mikko, another hairstylist.

My hair actually got pretty tangled during washing, but she combed it out so carefully I didn't feel much tugging.
*waves* Thank you Mikko, for being gentle, calming and soothing during the wash and scalp massage!

Oh the scalp leave-on treatment she applied for me had a minty tingly feeling,
but it's the comfortable kind la.
I forgot the name of the treatment though :x

After 5 hours at the chair, taaa-daaaa.
Wah their ring light is super legit.

To be really honest, I couldn't see the violet tones,

but Jac says that it's because the red appears so much brighter hence it seems darker by comparison.

He assures me that the change is definitely there.

Actually I more excited about the red HAHAH.

Here's one with natural lighting!

Okay this one probably shows slightly more purple tones than the artificial lighting. Yay!

I really love how there is a distribution of color, without being too bright on the overall.

Hopefully it's a pass for my manager bwahahah.

Let's see the colors 3 days later, under natural lighting.

I used my color protect shampoo and hair mask - as per my usual practice in the first week of getting a new dye job.

Kind of happy because.. is it me, or did the color become brighter? :D

With the extra processing due to the highlights, my hair texture is generally still as smooth as before dyeing,

but the hair ends are unfortunately feeling slightly dry.

Can't be helped - my hair hasn't been cut for quite some time liao, hahah.

Other than that, I'm mind blown as well, because the red did not bleed off much during bathtime.

My heart always aches when I see the water trickling pink down the drain,

because it is known that red fades off with each wash.

And you know how you've to wear dark clothing for a week,
because otherwise the dye might cause staining especially when your hair is wet?

Nope. Somehow I didn't kena all those pink stains on my necklines at all.
Towel still pink la though hahaha but eh very good liao leh.

So amazed.

On the overall, J&J Hair Identity has managed to impress me with NATULIQUE's Professional organic salon hair colours,
because I never would have expected that I would be able to achieve such bright results with organic hair dye.
I would say that the best of all is the lack of strong chemical smells and tingly scalp.
Seriously, it made my sitting there so much more comfortable.

Highly recommended for those who are concerned with protecting your scalp and hair while dyeing!
